On a Sunday afternoon in late July my wife and I will be departing from
St. Pancras station in London via Eurostar. Prior to this we will be
using a rental car for a few days, based in Cookham, Berks. We have
not yet booked the car, but before we do so I'd like to ask the group's
advice on the best place to drop it off so that we can then easily get
to St. Pancras with as few rail/taxi/bus transfers as possible.


I've had a car from Alamo, King's Cross in the past.

136/150 Pentonville Road
London, N1 9JL

Five minutes walk to St Pancras.
Pretty easy to get to from the West - Just approach London on the A40 and
don't turn off.
Drop passengers and luggage off at St. P on the way past.
Outside congestion charging zone.
No 'airport premium' to pay for car rental.
No need to mess about with tubes, oyster cards and all that confusion that
goes with them!
